These events should always count match START time, not end time. It should always be clear to the player if they are going into a match that counts or not. The player has no control over how long the match takes, and it is super annoying to find out that you spent 15min on a match that is no good.

This type of event is fun, but for people who work the weekends it is not easy to complete it. I only got in 30 matches and got to 64%. If you could start one day soon or run one day longer, us weekend working types may have a chance. But was fun none the less.

Another great fail that can be avoided. All needed is that game would count results of every game STARTED before the deadline.

Took 66 matches to win the Champion...and I love it! It took 107 matches to win the Victor...I know there are a lot of variables but assuming I am about as good now as I was during the Victor challenge, my view is...the Champion challenge was significantly easier...thanks PGI!

Bring on the next one!

Got my phract and made some money with the premium time.

Did 95% of it in group queue. Did a couple matches in solo queue and yea well that was pretty short lived.

Thanks PGI for the free stuff.

well i won a ctf-3D (C) that's the good part now the bad part this mech has no Quirks whats so ever when i checked it , my other cataphract's have the extra armour, additional structure, etc. so did they forget to add these quirks or not to the champion cataphract?

It has JumpJets, and in a heavy ballistic platform like this chassis, thats by itself the BEST QUIRK EVER

PGI says that CTF-3D is a Tier 1 'Mech. I think that it was their deliberate decision not to give it Quirks.

Yes! The old memory ain't what it used to be...and that's not saying much.

[surgetank]

well this champion mech sucks without the quirks , jump jets suck as well as you need 4 to get off the ground. waste of tonnage, this mech is rubbish.

Then you would have people being punished for getting kills. So no.

This challenge was so ANTI teamwork it just felt bad...
And no one gets punished in this game for violating ToS so please clarify what you mean?

[ThatGuy539]

Wow...the whining. Dudes, and dudettes....

If you don't like the mech...sell it. You still get some Cbills, a mech bay, and premium time.

Ya, the challenge was a grind. They aren't going to make it that easy and just give the mechs away. They need to make money to stay in business. By giving away the premium time, mech bay, an a mech that you can only get with MC they are not making money. Be glad that there is a chance to get the stuff for free at all. And it's not impossible...everyone should be able to get the premium time...and many did get the mech.

Although I can appreciate that it wasn't easy. Took me a day and a half of my weekend to get it. I got a bit sick of the game, and couldn't even consider playing it on Sunday. Although I also made some cbills for the King Crabs which should be out tomorrow....still need another 2 Mil or so. And the sickness must be wearing off as I'm considering getting an Urbie package.

Gotta put my car back together tonight, so the Cbills for the Crabs will have to wait.

I suspect playing the game will be bad for the next month or so as a lot of people will have taken a break from the game with the horror event over.

I bet server numbers are pretty low right now meaning the MM will be having to reach further to create games - making things pretty horrible.

The event will have upset a lot of people who wont be playing for awhile.

Don't generalize your own sentiment please ...

I had real life happen... 15 wins... too many matches... worst game play I have seen since beta.. .victor challenge was safer I think.

These really do NOT MAKE FOR GOOD HABITS OR GAME PLAY!!! Unless we are supposed to team shoot, **** your lance... and run around... hiding then killing then running away... shity builds and people just wanting to get points and quit.

Strats... **** no... just go die rinse repeat. The only way this could be fun is in groups or team play. Kill stealing and so on was so bad in the pub que.... also the worst players... I am still trying to figure out the concept of the MM system sticking a guy that admits to playing 4 days in my lance... my kdr and rating is not that bad... and yet after 2 years I have some dude with 4 days experience AS A GOOD IDEA for the MM , ELO system?? I know the good with a bad happens... but come on...

All in all I am glad this is over.. they **** the game up real bad and they need to rethink these.

I guess victor challange was harder, yet the surviving requirement made many people stop going for suicidal kill steals.

[Duncan1dah0]

Good challenge. Thanks for the mech PGI. I got mine on Saturday.

[The Red Priest]

I hated this challenge. It was so much worse than the "To the Victors" challenge. I was actually able to complete the first two parts of that. This one? I got one game that qualified out of about 30. I would get between 4-600 damage, usually on two or three guys, and someone would come in and steal my kills. It was ridiculous. Safe to say, a few friendlies got some "accidental" friendly deaths.

[Gattsus]

How about an extension?

It would be nice since there were plenty of people who could not complete it because of launcher issues, I was 8 games short from getting it but I had to go to work, get back home eager to jump in and win but nope the launcher won't work properly.

Then by the time it was working again the challenge only had 15 mins left.

It's wishful thinking but I doubt it will happen.
